Software PLUS Services for ERP Software Allows for Business Growth

IT Business Edge blogger, Ann All says that in 2009, the growth of ERP software delivered as a service was relatively flat. With existing ERP solutions, many of you are still reluctant to remove already installed software and start over with Software as a Service (SaaS) because you’ve already invested considerable resources, not only in upfront costs but continued spending on customization and support. No matter what the reason, hosting your solutions in the cloud may not appeal to everyone out there just yet.

Microsoft’s focus on software plus services for Microsoft Dynamics ERP is an approach that isn’t all or nothing. This unique SaaS framework adheres to all market types and allows for inevitable business changes and growth:

1. Microsoft Dynamics ERP Hosting
   With a hosted Microsoft Dynamics ERP solution you can choose to deploy some or all of your Microsoft ERP solution onsite or online. This option enables you to benefit from a hosted delivery model and provides more flexibility in customizing your solution and integrating it with your other line-of-business applications.
2. Online services for Microsoft Dynamics ERP
   Another way to achieve more with your Microsoft Dynamics ERP solution is to connect your solution to a number of online services that are managed by Microsoft experts in secure data centers. This helps alleviate the IT department from having to worry about behind-the-scenes tasks or hiring outside specialists.
3. Microsoft Dynamics ERP On-premise
   You can also choose to deploy your Microsoft Dynamics ERP solution on-site behind your company’s firewall. The applications are Web-service enabled with more than 1,600 of such services available out-of-the-box. With the tools in Microsoft Dynamics, you can easily add new Web services or extend existing services should your business needs change and you decide to take advantage of hosted or online services.
